Abstract
The design and operation of a novel forced flow reactor for synthesizi ng nanocrystalline, high surface area (210-250 m(2)/g) TiN powders is described. A key in tailoring the characteristics of the powder produc ed in the reactor is the use of a microwave-generated plasma. Sinterin g results demonstrate the tremendous potential for pressureless sinter ing of monodisperse, high surface area nitride powders, as well as hig hlight the need for processing which would address the proclivity for oxidation of these materials.
